Block Fences
We are specialized in erecting block fences in residential and commercial areas. The required standard in a commercial setting is at least 9 courses high or basically 6 feet. At the end of the day, you require a privacy wall that can also act as a security wall.
Block fences became popular in the 1920s after the development of Portland cement. Apart from its use in residential and commercial properties, it can also be used in creating a sound barrier especially if you live in an urban town. Other uses include security, privacy and as a retaining wall.
There are two main reasons why residents of Scottsdale choose our services. Our fences include sound barriers to protect people who live near a busy road or near an industrial facility. When installing your partition, we might install a sound barrier if we believe that you will be affected by sound pollution.
The sound barrier works on the principle of diffraction and reflection. To make it easy for you to understand, look at it from this perspective. When a truck hoots outside your house, it will transmit noise that will be blocked by sound barriers and then reflected back to the truck.
In some cases, the sound might find its way over the barrier. Instead of the sound finding its way inside your house, it will be diffracted away, giving you peace of mind. Our block wall installation services beautify your home as we use bricks of different colors, texture, and shapes.
As a residential or commercial property owner, having a concrete fence installed comes at a significant advantage:
Other advantages of having a concrete fence installed include being energy efficient and offering aesthetic beauty because it can accommodate a wide range of finishing.

As a residential or commercial property owner, having a concrete fence installed comes at a significant advantage:
- Design Flexibility - Block fence contractors prefer to have a concrete fence installed because of its flexible design. This means that it can accommodate complex architectural designs with ease.
- Strength - When compared to other types of fences such as wood and bamboo, a brick partition is stronger and can withstand harsh climatic conditions such as heavy rain, hot temperatures and hailstorms.
- Can Withstand Extreme Weather Conditions - A cinder brick wall can withstand extreme weather conditions such as extreme heat and wind. As a property owner, this feature lowers your maintenance bill.
Other advantages of having a concrete fence installed include being energy efficient and offering aesthetic beauty because it can accommodate a wide range of finishing.
What is the difference between a concrete block fence and a cinder block wall?
Though most laymen think that concrete and cinder blocks are the same, they are differentiated by their ingredients. For example, a concrete block is made from pure concrete {A combination of sand and crushed stone}. On the other hand, a cinder block fence can be made from a wide range of aggregates including construction waste and heated coal.

Block Wall Installation
When we install a wall we believe in quality craftsmanship and nothing less. We have seen an unqualified block wall contractor risk the integrity of a client’s wall by not following laid out construction procedures. For example, they use non coated metal supports that result in them rusting hence interfering with the integrity of the barrier.
In other cases, some contractors fail to use a moisture barrier, resulting in efflorescence. This is a salt residue that can cause cracking increasing your maintenance cost.
To avoid the above problems, concrete wall installation should always be done by a qualified contractor. If in doubt give us a call and we will sort you out.

Block Fence Cost
We advise our clients to know the expected block fence cost before hiring a company. This way, they avoid being over charged by a block wall contractor in Scottsdale. Though the figures below are accurate, keep in mind that they are just estimates as a lot of factors will influence the final cost.
Some of the factors that affect an estimate are:
Some of the factors that affect an estimate are:
- Size of Lot of Land: If you are building a block fence on a 100 by 50 piece of land, then the cost will differ when compared to a 100 by 100 piece of land.
- Labor Rates in Your Area: It does not matter whether you are building a cinder block or a concrete fence. The final cost will always be dependent on the labor rates in your area. Certain areas have lower labor rates than others because of factors such as supply.
- Design of the fence: A straight barrier without any fancy designs and shapes, will cost less than a fence with 4 corners and with fancy architectural shapes.
Block Wall Repair Services
We repair all types of partition, such as cinder block walls, cracked walls, poorly installed walls, and unstable walls. These services are offered to both commercial and residential customers. When doing an assessment for damages there are different types of cracks to look out for.
- A Diagonal Crack - When you spot a diagonal crack on your privacy wall, then know that your partition is experiencing a vertical movement inside. This can be due to various reasons, such as differential settlement or a sinkhole near the foundation.
- Horizontal Cracks - You should immediately call a contractor if your cinder block fence has a horizontal crack. This is an indication that there is something wrong and it must be fixed immediately.
- Vertical Crack - A vertical crack may be caused by several factors such as shrinkage in the concrete, carbonation shrinkage, or temperature fluctuations in the concrete wall. When you spot a vertical crack, give us a call immediately to repair the damages before it is too late.
- Tuckpointing - Though brick is durable, the mortar used to hold them in place is not. Over time, this mortar starts to deteriorate resulting in the wall losing its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. When this happens, a tuck-pointing service is needed. Tuckpointing is the process in which deteriorated mortar is removed and new ones installed to make the privacy wall more appealing. We also offer tuckpointing brickwork and cinder block foundation services.
- Repointing - This procedure is important because it prevents water from entering an enclosure and affecting its structural integrity. Basically, this is the process of renewing pointing in the joints to make it more water resistant.

RepointingRepointing is the renewing of the pointing, the external part of mortar joints in masonry construction. Repointing brick requires the removal of the old, damaged mortar from between the bricks and replacing it with new mortar. There is also masonry repointing, this is the same thing only it is done with stonework instead of bricks. This can be an expensive process as the old mortar is usually removed by hand and it is a tedious and painstaking process using a chisel and hammer. Some people will use a grinder, but this can cause damage to the brick, causing your masonry lines new to old to not match up. Repointing can cost between $3 per square foot to upwards of $15 per square foot. Having the work done by hand is more expensive but it will match up to your original mortar work better. The decision really comes down to the area of the damaged mortar and what your budget is for the project. The decision is always yours.
|
TuckpointingTuckpointing is a little more involved as the mason will lay the new mortar in the contrasting color and then chisel out a thin line and lay a contrasting color to create the image of straight, tight joints. Tuckpointing costs between $5 per square foot and $25 per square foot, while a chimney will cost you $10 to $25 per square foot. Tuck pointing brick gets increasingly more the higher on a structure you go but it gives a good aesthetically pleasing look to your building. While it can be done to any structure it is usually done to older brick buildings to give them a clean, newer look. This process can help ensure that your brick structure’s masonry remains watertight and help maintain the structural integrity of the building. Maintaining the mortar joints of your building is important as it will directly affect the longevity of it. While this is the more expensive option, do not let it dissuade you from pursuing it as it leaves your building looking nice and keeps it safer for years to come.

Brick Paver Driveway
Nothing is more elegant or gives a better first impression of a home than a paver driveway. By having a team of professionals do the installation, you can rest assured that the true beauty of your home shines through.
There are several real reasons why a homeowner should consider a brick paver driveway. First, unlike asphalt or concrete, brick pavers do not crack. As the pavers are laid on a sand base, they flex under load. This helps prevent any cracking.
Driveway pavers are also extremely durable. Pavers can easily carry three to four times the load that other surfaces can. In the event a driveway paver is damaged or marred by a spill, it can easily be removed and replaced. When a concrete drive cracks, a repair can be costly, and the drive never appears the same.

Brick pavers give your patio a unique appearance, without any concern about them fading in the Arizona sun, or cracking under load. Brick pavers are an economical solution for the homeowner who is looking for beauty, as well as long-term durability.
